Programming
The museum shows continuous developments of art and photography of the twentieth century. It offers both a 10,000-strong permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, discussions, courses and conferences, workshops and concerts related to exhibitions organized and other fields of contemporary art. It has two spaces: the Centre Julio González, a new building which opened in 1989 featuring the museum's collection along with other temporary signs and the Board of the Wall, located in the basement of the building that remains of the former Medieval fortifications of the city, and now houses temporary exhibitions.
Jointly organized with the San Diego Museum of Art, IVAM mounted a major exhibition on Joaquín Sorolla in its first year, culling paintings from collections throughout Europe and the United States.
Management
IVAM is run by the Ministry of Culture, Education, and Sports of the Valencian Community. Since 2014, José Miguel García Cortés has been the museum's director. His predecessor, Consuelo Císcar, was ousted after ten years at the post, following complaints from local critics, visual artists and gallery owners about the low quality of the museum’s programming and “lack of professionalism in the management”.
